INDIAN SIGNS One of the curious and Interesting things of this Central Oregon coun try of which, we believe, no men tion has ever been made is the sign, or picture, writing to be found on rock faces in various sections. ' Rel ics of a distant past, what they all mean or under what circumstances they were drawn on the rocks Is a mystery. To those, however, whose minds travel back over the years when the country was inhabited only by Indians, they are sources of never ending speculation and wonder. Equally mystifying are the meth ods used by the Indians in making these drawings and the material em ployed. As seen today they are of a dull red color, faded somewhat, but in most cases otherwise unaffected by the action of the weather. The messages they were tntended to tell have long since been delivered, but they remain to tell another story to a different race. Of the five different spots where the picture writing is found, the most accessible to Bend is Just off the Tumalo road and near the town of Tumalo. Here a single rock shows pictures apparently intended to represent a man, the sun and a horse. On the rock slide that bord ers the newly opened road between Sparks and Devil's lakes there are as many as seven different sets of pic tures, and on the trail from Tumalo creek to Tumalo lake there is a stone with two characters on it. More . extensive and elaborate drawings than any of these are found, we are told, on a large rock on the old Prineville road from the Millican valley, and on rocks in a canyon on the east side of Tumalo creek, three or four miles from town. Possibly there are others of which someone will now tell us and possib ly there is still someone here who can say what the signs mean. We trust this may be so. Whether or not we learn what the signs mean, sentiment for their pres ervation should be developed. Van dals have marked over them in some places and there is always a possi bility that they will be destroyed, which would be most unfortunate, for whatever is of interest in our out of door country should be zealously preserved.

Oh, my ringbones long have smarted, and my spavins hurt my calves; for such things, in days departed, I used liniments and salves; but my teeth are at the bottom of such miseries as these, and the same old teeth, dod rot 'em, make existence seem a cheese. Once I had a temper cheerful, and my home was full of peace, and you heard no wailings tearful from my wife or aunt or niece ; but for months I've been as nasty as a bear with festered dome, and I said things blanky-blasty when I had to write a pome. Oh, a shadow o'er me hovered, and it changed my wine to gall, and the doctor has dis covered that my teeth produced it all. Of all uticas the pentest is the one that spoils our glee, so I'm going to the dentist, and the dentist waits for me. In his apron new and stainless he is waiting at his door, he is standing, tall and painless, and his smile is five by four; he is singing like a linnet, waiting there to cut his ice, and he'll charge a bone a min ute, but the goods are worth the price. GRAND TONItiUT LAST T1MK CONSTANCE TALMADGE in "Mrs. Leff ingwell's Boots" Solomon's Temple. It Is believed today by many sa vants that the Old Testament descrip tion of Solomon's temple was written by the Jews after their return from the captivity, with the memory of the real splendors of Babylon fresh In their minds. It Is possible that the actual temple was a simple place of worship. If it bad been otherwise, li Is hardly possible that no remains of it would he visible todny, seeing that the temples of Egjpt, which are so much olfler. remain, in some cases, al most I:, toto.

King Carl the Great (Charlemagne) was once defeated by the Saxons, and fled with bis Franks to the Main. But they tfould find no fording place by which to escape the pursuit of their enemies. Suddenly a cart appeared and mnde for a spot where It crossed easily, thus showing the Franks where the river was fordable. So they came across the Moln. and 'he place has, ever since been culled 'Frankfurt'" (the ford of the Franks). Head Grows Till Man Is 40.

Puritans Used No Wedding Ring. The I'urltans of the seventeenth century used no ring at the wedding ceremony, as they considered It "a pagan symbol and superstitious con trivance."

In order that she may take a commanding place in athletic events in the Orient, par ticularly the Oriental Olympic sports, Tokio is building a vast athletic park and stadium at a cost of more than a million yen. The track will be larger than the Olympic track in Stockholm and great care has been exercised in-'the planning thereof, this being in charge of experts who were sent to Eurppe to study the best features of tracks there. The trackB will include one of 400 yards and another of 200 yards, but the origi nal plan to include a baseball dia mond was abandoned, it being com mon opinion that the two features cannot be successfully combined. On the west Bide of tha field will be an inclined grassy slope which will be able to accommodate 40,000 spectators, while on the east side will be a grandstand with seats for 15,000 spectators. Inside this stand will be dressing and bath rooms, dining halls, and even dormitories for vis iting teams. Work on leveling the grounds has already begun, and it is expected that the entire structure will be completed by 1923. - Dally Thought Tlwt traveled mind is the .catholic mind educated from exclnslveness and egotism.
